Enhanced Prosthetic (Needle)
Overview
Among the most common improvements to field agents with prosthetic limbs were ones which concealed a weapon within the agent's arms, in this case a Needle which could retract behind hidden panels in the arm or hand. This hypodermic injector could be used to deliver to deliver a variety of poisons or other solutions into the target, and the ability to spot this concealed weapon was very difficult.[1]
As with other prosthetic enhancements these were employed only by the intelligence agencies of the Inner Sphere with agents who already had a Type 3 or superior prosthetic limb. The Clans were too philosophically opposed and the Periphery too poor to make use of them beyond rare cases.[2] Among the Manei Domini this upgrade was available to all agents with the necessary prosthetic limb.[3]
